Barnett Outdoors BAR17014 Hook Style Rope Cocking Device

The Barnett Outdoors BAR17014 Hook Style Rope Cocking Device is a purpose-built crossbow accessory designed to make cocking a crossbow easier, safer, and more consistent. Built by one of the most recognized names in archery, this RCD uses a pair of hooks that engage the crossbow string and dual handles that let the shooter draw the string back with balanced, even force on both sides.

The unit is built around a 50-inch rope that is adjustable to fit a wide range of crossbow lengths, and a magnet lock keeps the rope securely stowed on the bow when it is not in use. Its ergonomic handle form factor delivers a comfortable and controlled draw, and the device is fully ambidextrous, working equally well for right- and left-handed shooters. According to Barnett, the Hook Style RCD reduces cocking tension by up to 50%, taking much of the peak effort out of drawing heavier draw-weight crossbows.

Finished in black and weighing only a few ounces, the BAR17014 packs flat for transport in a pack or range bag and ships with an RCD instruction manual to get you set up right out of the box. Whether you run a Barnett compound crossbow or any standard crossbow with compatible string hooks, this is a straightforward upgrade for more accurate, repeatable cocking in the field or on the range.
